This week my picks are....

Starry Nights by Daisy Whitney

Seventeen-year-old
Julien is a romantic—he loves spending his free time at the museum
poring over the great works of the Impressionists. But one night, a
peach falls out of a Cezanne, Degas ballerinas dance across the floor,
and Julien is not hallucinating.

The art is reacting to a curse
that trapped a beautiful girl, Clio, in a painting forever. Julien has a
chance to free Clio and he can't help but fall in love with her. But
love is a curse in its own right. And soon paintings begin to bleed and
disappear. Together Julien and Clio must save the world's greatest art .
. . at the expense of the greatest love they've ever known.

Like
a master painter herself, Daisy Whitney brings inordinate talent and
ingenuity to this romantic, suspenseful, and sophisticated new novel. A
beautifully decorated package makes it a must-own in print.

Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Mass

After a year of hard
labor in the Salt Mines of Endovier, eighteen-year-old assassin Celaena
Sardothien has won the king's contest to become the new royal assassin.
Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown – a secret she hides from
even her most intimate confidantes.

Keeping up the deadly
charade—while pretending to do the king's bidding—will test her in
frightening new ways, especially when she's given a task that could
jeopardize everything she's come to care for. And there are far more
dangerous forces gathering on the horizon -- forces that threaten to
destroy her entire world, and will surely force Celaena to make a
choice.

Conjured by Sarah Beth Durst

Eve has a new home, a
new face, and a new name—but no memories of her past. She’s been told
that she's in a witness protection program. That she escaped a dangerous
magic-wielding serial killer who still hunts her. The only thing she
knows for sure is that there is something horrifying in her memories the
people hiding her want to access—and there is nothing they won’t say—or
do—to her to get her to remember.

At night she dreams of a
tattered carnival tent and buttons being sewn into her skin. But during
the day, she shelves books at the local library, trying to not let
anyone know that she can do things—things like change the color of her
eyes or walk through walls. When she does use her strange powers, she
blacks out and is drawn into terrifying visions, returning to find that
days or weeks have passed—and she’s lost all short-term memories. Eve
must find out who and what she really is before the killer finds her—but
the truth may be more dangerous than anyone could have ever imagined.

Where the Stars Still Shine by Trish DollerStolen as a child from
her large and loving family, and on the run with her mom for more than
ten years, Callie has only the barest idea of what normal life might be
like. She's never had a home, never gone to school, and has gotten most
of her meals from laundromat vending machines. Her dreams are haunted by
memories she’d like to forget completely. But when Callie’s mom is
finally arrested for kidnapping her, and Callie’s real dad whisks her
back to what would have been her life, in a small town in Florida,
Callie must find a way to leave the past behind. She must learn to be
part of a family. And she must believe that love--even with someone who
seems an improbable choice--is more than just a possibility.

Trish
Doller writes incredibly real teens, and this searing story of love,
betrayal, and how not to lose your mind will resonate with readers who
want their stories gritty and utterly true.

Thats my list of books I am waiting for! What are you waiting on this week?
